Hi all,

Well it’s been quite a while, but have just bought a 1999 Mk2 SE and am looking forward to being back in the fold.

Had been looking on and off for a while - the first brand new car I bought myself back in 1999 was an SE and a couple of years ago that very car came up for sale - went to see it and wish I hadn’t - it was it terrible condition. (V720FHR - where are you now??)

Anyway, one popped up on ebay last week, not too far away, only 86000 miles, cat N but decent repair - a cheeky last minute bid and bob’s your aunt. Picking it up tomorrow so wish me luck

Quite enjoying reliving these cars - also have a Mk1 TT 225 Coupe that I’ve been getting back to OEM - it’s all like giant lego :slight_smile: And they are getting used more than the modern stuff we have…

This may not stay OEM though; use it this summer then spend some time subtly improving it for track work next year

Welcome Trickster.
Enjoy your new car. Just in time for the sunny weather and miles of fun, top down motoring :ok_hand:

Coincidentally I’m considering a MK1 TT so would be interested in your views on yours if you feel like it?
Perhaps you might drop me a direct message should you get a minute, thanks :+1:

Cheers,
Guy

will drop you a message - very different proposition to the MX5 though
